Juliette Maxwell first started learning the accordion in England when she was 8 years old. Although initially self-taught, much of her inspiration came from her mother who won many championships throughout the U.K.
In 1994 she continued her accordion studies with Ian Southwood in Melbourne, and later with Fred Witt who was himself a former student of the highly acclaimed Hohner Accordion School in Trossingen, Germany. She is currently working on her performance diploma with Ian.

Juliette joined Concordia in 1994. Since then she has played the accordion both as a member of the ensemble and as a soloist.
She has also played with other amateur orchestras around Melbourne, including the Melbourne Mandolin Orchestra, and in 1998 she played in the Legin production of Fiddler On The Roof, featuring Topol, at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre.
Juliette teaches piano accordion, piano, double bass and music theory. She also plays double bass with the ensemble and other symphony orchestras.
